[Verse 1] Your love was a fruit, ripe and red But when I bit in, it was rotting instead The sweetness on your lips was just a lie The deeper I got, you were bitter inside [Pre-Chorus] Your smile was perfect, your kindness rehearsed You never cared, and that's what hurts You acted sweet, but it was fake A game you played for your own sake [Chorus] I trusted you, you let me down Now bitterness is all I’ve found You gave just enough to make me stay Then pulled it back and walked away Your sweetness was a cruel disguise A poison clothed in sweet goodbyes I taste the lies, I feel the shame The bitterness, the aftertaste [Instrumental Solo] [Verse 2] You wanted love, but not from me Just someone there, conveniently A body to fill an empty space No promises, no warm embrace Now every time I taste your name It burns, a sharp, relentless flame A sweetness turned to bitter pain The aftertaste that still remains [Chorus] I trusted you, you let me down Now bitterness is all I’ve found You gave just enough to make me stay Then pulled it back and walked away Your sweetness was a cruel disguise A poison clothed in sweet goodbyes I taste the lies, I feel the shame The bitterness, the aftertaste [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] I swallowed all your promises You broke me, left me wrong like this Addicted, but now I resist The sweet poison on your lips Every word you said still stings Like acid burning through my skin I’m done swallowing your lies And soon the bitter taste will die [Instrumental Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Your smile was perfect, your kindness rehearsed You never cared, and that's what hurts You acted sweet, but it was fake A game you played for your own sake [Chorus] I trusted you, you let me down Now bitterness is all I’ve found You gave just enough to make me stay Then pulled it back and walked away Your sweetness was a cruel disguise A poison clothed in sweet goodbyes I taste the lies, I feel the shame The bitterness, the aftertaste [Instrumental Solo] [Outro] I taste betrayal, but I'll survive The bitter sting keeps me alive
